Daughters Of St Crispin - S/T

Madison WI post-punk vets churning out simple,
heavy songs of lament.
Russell Emerson Hall - guitar/voice (ex-Tyranny 
Is Tyranny, ex-United Sons of Toil, ex-Twelves)
Peter Leonard - bass/voice (ex-Droids Attack, 
ex-Rustbelt Sermon, ex-Poorman’s Therapy)


Daughters Of St Crispin bring a dirty amalgamation of
order and chaos - mixing elements of punk, noise and
sludge rock to form compositions that build on their
collective influences, creating a markedly unique sound.
Punk rock goes angular and angry, juddering through 
4 tracks of discordant, rhythmic and punishing slabs 
of excellence. The vocals are yelped but tuneful and 
counter-balance the complex guitar lines but before it 
all begins to sound like random, chaotic bursts of nonsense, 
you realise that they are also rocking like bastards! 
Taking the feel of the Jesus Lizard and the glorious 
feeling of what-the-fuck! song arrangements of These 
Arms Are Snakes, the album also has the added bonus 
of sounding like it was produced by Steve Albini. 
The tracks have real solidity to them - no wasted 
time or filler to the song structures - tension builds 
nicely as the urgent riffs hammer down.
This is the good shit.
Thanks to the band for sending this to me.
